Item Description
Very distinctive cluster of gemmy Fluorites from the famous Okorusu Mine in Namibia. Fluorites from Okorusu are renowned for their green and purple zoning, which these have in abundance. Also, they are very gemmy, which is much less common from here, so highly desirable. The largest crystal is 1.1 cm on edge, and they all have superb mirror-like luster. As good as possible. The kicker, though, is that these Fluorites have a bright blue-white fluorescence that would make an English Fluorite proud. I don't recall seeing an Okorusu Fluorite fluoresce this well. So unusual, and so very aesthetic.
